You know, for some reason this morning is the first I recall really thinking about those words and where I had seen/heard them before. Genesis 1:1 – “In the beginning…” and again in John 1:1 this morning.
“1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” – John 1:1 (ESV)
At the start of the world, God was there to start things off. And reflected here in John 1:1 we see again that God was there before everything else.
When I think of God creating the heavens and earth, I have this picture of him pulling together things and forming them with his hands. That would not be possible had he not already been there in the first place. So, God had to be in the beginning.
How do you picture the creation of the heavens and earth? What is your picture of “the beginning”? Are you able to determine God being there “in the beginning”?
